Thanks in advance to anyone reading this, I usually burn avi files converted from YouTube with no problems, but with my latest compilation I keep getting an error message during the encoding, it just says "Cannot Start Video Encoder", I deleted a few items and eventually got a disc to burn, but there are still a few files left over and I can't get past this message..I'm assuming something is wrong with one or more of the files, and that is throwing it off, here is the error Log, but I can't make sense of it, could someone please explain it in simple terms if it's of any help?

sorry not to good on VCD projects but, how many files you trying to burn? it gets to file 3 avi - AllOutOfLove.avi then says 10:29:53 AM #18 AVIVCDFILEITEM 5 File AVIVCDFileItem.cpp, Line 1061 Cannot start video encoder either 4 it couldnt find or its struggling on number 5 ? do you have the xvid AND divx codec installed?
Yeah..That's what I thought, but I have tried deleting a few files, The ones after it stopped and eventually I still get the same message, even with different files. Maybe they weren't converted properly...I download them again and see..It just takes a while. Thanks for your suggestion.
